‘The Front' Unleashes Massive Update With Full Vehicle Assembly System
The Front, the chaotic post-apocalyptic war sandbox currently in Early Access on Steam, has just rolled out its most ambitious upgrade yet: a complete Vehicle Assembly System that lets players design, build, and deploy custom war-rigs directly from a modular workbench.
Players can now craft their dream combat vehicles using over 40 parts-including chassis, engines, weapons, armor, and utilities like batteries, gas cans, or storage crates. Each component directly impacts performance metrics like speed, firepower, durability, and electrical usage. Built-in constraints-such as weight limits, power draw, and mounting compatibility-ensure every creation remains balanced and strategic. Once configured, these war machines are immediately ready for battlefield deployment. A new gameplay trailer puts this creation-in-combat process on full display.
To accompany this system, the update introduces seven Black Sun Obelisks, specialized high-difficulty zones packed with terrain challenges, bosses, and twisted "Vehicle Monster" enemies. These zones reinforce a refined gameplay loop: challenge → loot → build → dominate.
Lore-minded players also get a boost: the enigmatic "Black Sun Project" receives deeper narrative exploration through new areas and data logs. Technical improvements-such as optimized terrain streaming, enhanced AI and combat animations, and smoother UI-round out the update.
To celebrate the launch, The Front is offering a 20% discount on Steam from July 14 to July 28.
